As with any merger, these things aren't just done because there's money to be made. They're done because there's money to be saved. Over the years ahead, there’ll be ...

Senators demand OpenAI chief appear before inquiry after Medicare breach

Trump just decided to rename artificial intelligence. That’s ‘super’ confusing

It might not seem like a big deal that US President Donald Trump has just tried to rename artificial intelligence – he unilaterally renames things all the time. But the word he chose and the venue where he revealed it are both remarkable. United States President Donald Trump speaks during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura In a meandering address to the United Nations on Tuesday (early Wednesday AEST), Trump attacked the UN and other international bodies, pondered whether he should “annihilate” Iran and declared the US would officially refer to AI as “super intelligence” from now on. “The use of the word ‘artificial’ makes intelligence fake – it makes it sound fake, and it is not fake,” he said. “It's actu...

Trump says US will investigate EU trade practices, claiming the bloc unfairly fined tech giants

The United States will open a formal investigation into the European Union’s trade practices, US President Donald Trump said on Friday, claiming the bloc has unfairly levied billions of dollars of fines against Google, Apple and other US tech giants. The Republican president made the announcement a day after the EU hit Google with a fine of €890 million ($1.5 billion), after it said the technology behemoth broke digital antitrust regulations by setting up Google Play and its ubiquitous search engine to corral consumers toward its own services and apps to the detriment of competitors.
